Coats did right thing in not supporting background checks

Richard Hopkins wrote a letter saying Sen. Dan Coats isn't representing his constituents in not supporting comprehensive background checks for gun buyers. Here is one constituent who is thankful Coats is representing the minority view.

Liberty is a fragile thing. Laws never create freedom -- they always restrict. The best-case scenario is someone gains liberty because it was taken from someone else.

Some may think Coats is failing when he doesn't join the gun control lemmings. Others know he's doing the right thing and is representing the constituents that Sen. Joe Donnelly isn't.

Thank you, Sen. Coats.
